Default How much can I use?

Hello All:

I'm about to start my project, hoping it comes out half as well as some of the others I've seen here. I'm still wading through the info that's out there, but I have some questions for the pros.

The car is a 68 Camaro, that currently has a small block and a 4 speed. I have purchased a 98 z28 with an LS1 and a 6 speed to use as a donor. My question is this:

While I plan on using the engine, trans, clutch, pcm, wiring harness and the radiator and fans, what else can I realistically use? I know that with enough money I could use the entire car, but on a budget build does it make sense to use the rearend? Anything else I'm not thinking of? How much of the rest of the 98's wiring can/should I be saving?

Since this a strict budget build, I'll be selling parts off of both the cars to cover some of the costs involved with getting the harness worked, headers, etc.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated, and if there's anyone near the southwest side of Chicago that wants to get together for a few cold ones to hash some of this out - I sure am up for that!

Thanks in advance...
